Therapists in Willow Street, PA

Are you are always in battle with your spouse or partner? Has communication has broken down and you don’t know how to talk to each other anymore? Are you hurt because of things that were said in anger? Do you feel that no matter what you do, nothing is ever good enough or you’re not good enough? In most marriage or couples counseling, all things can be improved, changed and made better, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, fight fair and get what you want out of your relationship.

My primary role as a therapist is to provide a safe, genuine relationship - A place for you to be both the person you're afraid to show and the one you desire to be. Life has a tendency to tangle our needs and dreams, making it hard to access our abilities. I'm here to help coax out those threads of hope and strength to be crafted into your true narrative. You may have a vivid picture of your goals in seeking therapy, or simply a yearning for growth. Together we can make that vision manifest in your day to day life.

Everyone has unique experiences that led them to this moment in their lives. Your feelings and thoughts about your present life are valid. No matter where you are today, I will help guide and encourage you with acceptance, humor, kindness, and compassion. I welcome you to therapy if you are looking for help with boundaries, cohesion, and communication through working on problems stemming from trauma, identity, and relationships. I am here to help you.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or stress? Parenting difficulties or relationship issues? Allow me to help! With over 30 years' experience working with individuals with mental health diagnoses, I recognize the importance of trauma informed care practices. I work to create a safe space to process past experiences, that continue to make achieving personal goals difficult. Identifying and building upon strengths that an individual already has is paramount in my approach, and together we focus on fostering mindfulness techniques in developing coping strategies to address depression, anxiety and day to day challenges.

The human experience is complex and layered. It is often taken for granted and underestimated. In our profession, it is a privilege to have access to such complexities; a privilege to witness the moment when despair transforms into hope and futility no longer exists. Humans are vast and exploration is limitless. As a psychologist, I would be remiss by engaging my work without intentionality, humility, and culturally appropriate care. As someone with marginalized identities, I find value in reflecting in the moment with clients. I use a multicultural counseling model to address the unique needs of clients of color and LGBTQ+ folks.

Now taking clients for individual therapy only, daytime hours only please! I’d love to help you find a new and better place to live in and live from. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work well with couples, families, and teens. Everyone who comes to therapy is unique so I listen well to get to know each person and family situation well. My systems training will help you make better sense of how to communicate to those you love and care for. With a couple’s relationship, I’m amazed at how rich EFT, an attachment based approach, is in helping people open up to healing and trust inside their relationship.

Hello all! I am a trauma-oriented psychotherapist working with adults, couples and adolescents in Pennsylvania and Maryland. I work inclusively with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, significant life transitions, those healing from trauma and those seeking insight. I work in an individualized way with each client wherein I strive to build with you a strong, honest working relationship that can facilitate healing and help you rediscover strengths and your own unique talents. I hope to help you gain insight and strengthen your inner ability to heal and experience the life you want to live.

Therapy is a great opportunity for exploration of oneself, relationships, family, and in general navigating life. In this process, one can learn about their patterns, strengths, and areas of growth. My goal as a couples, family, and individual therapist, is to create a safe environment where I can walk along side you as you work toward reaching your goals. I believe that therapy is a collaboration to not only work through struggles and build skills, but to also celebrate the strengths and victories along the way. Together we can gain clarity and develop skills that encourage healthy patterns and fulfilling relationships.

I believe that every challenge in life is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our character and to grow. At times, it is helpful to have someone to walk with you through that challenge. I have always had a passion for serving others. After retiring in 2015 from a career within the criminal justice system, I decided to pursue this passion within the counseling arena. For the past three years, I have been counseling adults, in both individual and group formats, who are mandated to obtain treatment by the criminal justice system. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in clinical counseling through Eastern University.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker who also is certified in addiction care with over 20 years of experience working in both the inpatient and outpatient settings out in the community and within large healthcare systems. I work with individuals, couples and families across the lifespan and with a board spectrum of needs and concerns. I have a special interest in Trauma Therapy and Addiction issues, as well as co-occurring disorders.

This thing we call life is hard. It is full of challenges, decisions, experiences, and transitions that lead to big feelings and complicated thoughts. The good news is: we can do hard things! I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including: depression, anxiety, sexuality and gender issues, relationship and family challenges, life transitions, grief, and trauma. My experience has taught me the vast strength of each individual...our ability as human beings to make meaning out of struggle, to change the things we can, and to accept (often with a changed perspective!) the things we can not.

Each client's psychological and spiritual needs are a focus addressing relational issues, behavioral issues, and mood-driven difficulties with consideration of individually-specified treatment goals. Overarching treatment outcome is healing and restoration and rehabilitation for clients to become healthy, happy and productive individuals.

My approach to therapy is to build a trusting relationship where you can start to explore your questions, current pain points, and life story without fear of judgment. My specialty is working with individuals navigating significant changes in their life - loss, identity formation, exploring sexuality, navigating divorce, or becoming a new parent. My approach draws from anti-racist, trauma informed, psychodynamic, systems-focused frameworks.

For the past 20 years, I have applied a strengths-based, skill building perspective to assist clients in achieving their personal and professional goals. Clients have included youth and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, the impact and outcomes of trauma and relationship issues.

Inner and relationship peace, everyone hopes to be heard, cared for, and have purpose to their day and life. Sometimes we lose these things along the way and we don't know how to get them, maybe we never had them. We can feel lonely even when we're in a relationship, or unsure of what to do and ultimately do nothing instead, constantly battling regret, guilt, shame, sadness, and anger. You may be one of those folks to has felt that way, who has wanted to make something different happen in their life but couldn't figure out how to make that happen.
